Time is finite. Administrative capacity is finite. Sapping the Trump admin's time and capacity is valuable in and of itself, regardless of impeachment's procedural or political outcome.

I think my attempt to get a better supply of syringes & needles online was a failure. Behold! Three bandaids covering 3 holes where I maybe managed to inject .4ml of a .6ml dose of EV!
Three clustered dot bandages on my right thigh, covering the three holes where I tried to inject EV this afternoon.

“Shut up, my arguments against trans rights are TOTALLY NOT the same ones people used against gay rights 30 years ago.” 30 years ago I was hearing the same thing, except it was anti-gay people being like “shut up, ours are NOTHING like the arguments racists made against rights for black people.”

I haven’t seen enough about the Cornell Rapists on my feed here, but it is dominating my TikTok FYP and my only critique is that no one, especially not other men, should be calling them “boys” in general or as an insult. Those are men. Those are adults who made violent decisions, not children.

You, an AI user: need money for tokens. AI eats them. Need more money for tokens. Me: a transit historian: need money for tokens. Have a local artist make me a custom necklace. Think about what other transit jewelry I might commission. Need more money for tokens. We are not the same.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I long for a back-to-basics web: Markdown for text, JPEG images, no video, no Javascript or other client-side scripting, writable by a human being with a text editor. Make it as advertising/corporate hostile as possible. And above all keep it *small*. In other words, web like it's 1996 again.

Another day, another (PG rated) corset. This, too, will be worn with a shirt under it, but if I were 30 years younger nobody would have been able to stop me from being hilariously awkward in public with it.
Yours truly (an elderly white woman with almost white hair) wearing a plaid wool skirt and an over-the-bust corset.   There is some tiny cleavage to be found, but alas my boobs are overwhelmed by the diameter of my upper chest.

This is a good day for an underbust corset. (not gonna post it as I want to wear it -- sans shirt -- but even in today's "not quite adjusted properly" fit it does a pretty good job of emphasizing my largish, but still small for my frame, tits. A girl wants to flatter herself, after all.)
Yours truly (an elderly white haired woman) wearing a Nora Reed Designs twenty-sided dice necklace a cream/white shirt, an purple under-the-boobs corset, and a purple skirt.

The biggest thing we have tried to get white people to understand is this: You will never be white enough. The boundaries of it can always move to exclude you. Whiteness has always been built out of what it isn't.

I am not picking on your post, but I think the yughh factor you're talking about comes from thinking of trans people primarily as sex objects. (I mean "I just get turned right off" and I'm sorry but I am not a sale item at the fucktoy store.)

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made
